"Fresh Blood"

Once green card is granted, then we have hundreds of choices. Finding a decent job is very important, but not the only one, and definitely not the best one! Very often, I found that some one said that Dr. G finds a professor position at a H Institute or at I company, or at J University, et al. For sure, in America, finding a job is generally regarded as a pierce of positive news. Due to our generally narrow exposure to American, majority of our fellows have been doing research in biomedical laboratories as mainstream of job types. Compared to what we earned in Mainland China, the salary of a researcher is significantly increased. However, please remember that we are living in America, not in Mainland China anymore. We pay our gasoline in US dollars, not in RMB anymore. America is a nation of Capitalism. Your social status is valued and then ranked by your money, or as an extension by your asset, like house(s), stock or anything valuable. Unfortunately, most scientists are underpaid in American salary system. Biomedical research has only served as an assistant for America Medical system. Your miserable salary, as monitored by your W-2 form annually, will appear short in a society with tons of excellent goods and wonderful services. For these reasons, you have to open your minds and pursue additional channel(s) of acquiring wealth. How to acquire additional wealth efficiently and quickly? I tell you guys next time.
